Abstract
4.1 Introduction
The use of seclusion in psychiatric care should be reduced. The relationship between nursing management or nursing managers' attitudes and the use of seclusion has not been investigated.
4.2 Aim
To describe the associations between the use of seclusion and psychiatric nursing managers' attitudes to containment methods.
4.3 Method
Register data concerning the use of seclusion in Finnish psychiatric care in 2017 were collected. The Attitudes to Containment Measures Questionnaire was used to illustrate psychiatric nursing managers' attitudes to containment methods. An Augmented Naive Bayes analysis was used to investigate the relationships of the use of seclusion and attitudes.
4.4 Results
Nursing managers' age and their attitudes towards containment methods were related to the use of seclusion. Especially nursing managers' negative perceptions of seclusion were associated with less use of seclusion, and seclusion was used more often on wards with nursing managers who were older than the average.
4.5 Conclusion
Nursing managers' negative attitudes towards seclusion have a potential impact on the use of seclusion, which might even result in a reduction in its use in psychiatric inpatient setting.
4.6 Implications for practice
The results suggest that nursing managers should be encouraged to guide their staff to decrease the use of seclusion.
